Vendors are starting to ask themselves, ‘why does it cost me so much money to sell my house?’
For decades, traditional Real Estate Agents have had a strong hold on the property market. They made it virtually impossible for vendors to sell their property without an agent’s assistance. Thankfully, times have changed and agents are no longer able to convince sellers that it’s their way or the highway.
Vendors can now keep all the profit from the sale of their property instead of handing over thousands of dollars in commission to an agent. Private real estate is an increasingly popular and very attractive alternative to listing with an agency. Not only does the vendor save themselves thousands of dollars by avoiding exorbitant agent fees, they also retain full control over the sale of their property. No one knows your home better than you do, so who better to sell it?
For sale by owner started to gain momentum when vendors realised there were other options out there. Businesses, such as CFRE
or Commission Free Real Estate, are able to assist with the sale of a property, for a fraction of the cost charged by traditional agencies. They list and advertise your property on the two major real estate websites, provide private sellers with every imaginable marketing tool and best of all, charge zero commission.
The private real estate sector is rapidly increasing in size with vendors understanding there is no magic formula to selling property. If your home is correctly priced and well presented, there is a buyer out there for you. It’s not hard to negotiate either, you know how much you are willing to accept and only you know your bottom line. For sale by owner or FSBO offers you total control, you no longer have to worry about an agent knocking you down in price or asking yourself if they are working for you or the buyer.
